One of Aviation's Best Known Leaders Has Some Advice For EAA's New Boss

To those of us who watched aviation work its way through several decades of various trials and tribulations, Phil Boyer proved himself to be the real deal... a solid leader with some serious smarts and a true passion for the world of aviation.

When he decided to retire after nearly two decades of challenging leadership, we all felt poorer for the loss of his participation but could not deny the that the guy deserved to retire and enjoy his life the way that he wanted... free of the pressures that he lived 24/7 for all those years.

Still; when he wants to speak up, even after nearly two years absence from his leadership of the AOPA (which hasn't been the same since and seems to be drifting inexorably 'off-mission'), we're more than willing to drop everything and listen... and when he wants to provide thoughtful advice for a guy who was (at that time) about to take on what has to be one of the most challenging leadership transitions in the sport and general aviation business, we are ALL ears.

So... join Aero-TV for one of a series of intriguing interviews from the grounds of Oshkosh 2010 as Phil, first, provides advice to the newly named EAA President, Rod Hightower... and then stick with us as Phil chats with us about GA's challenges for the future, how he's enjoying his life post-retirement, and a really fun chat about one of Phil's greatest passions-- checking out the latest in aero-gadgets (Phil being one of the all time great gadget geeks).

We hope you enjoy these chats as much as we did...
